Girl Talk: The Perfect Man

Don't we all want the perfect man?



Sorry that this post came late, revising for A-levels has completely taken it's toll on my blogging.

This is not a movie review! I have seen this movie as it is one of my favourites and it made me think about what girls tend to look for in guys. Most of us picture the perfect man. The trouble is, we all think the perfect man is something different.

Some of us think the perfect man is tall, others short. Some of us think the perfect man is blond, others brunette. The only thing we have in common, is that we all want him.

Personally, I believe that all versions of the perfect man exist, and that most of us will find him in one way or another. However, a problem with this view is our expectations of men.

We all believe that we want the perfect man, and we do! Life is too short to waste our time on someone who isn't right for us. However, are our standards too high?

We'll dump a guy who's not the right height, a guy with a crap job, a guy with a horrible fashion sense. What most of us don't realise is that, out of every guy that we ever date in our lives, 100% of them will have at least one flaw. Why are we so quick to judge guys on this one flaw? Because we deserve the best, the one person with no flaws. But we shouldn't hold our breath, because he doesn't exist!

For this post, I'm not going to tell you how to find the perfect man, I'm going to give you tips on how to find your perfect man.

Tips to find your perfect man:

Know who you are:

This includes flaws. You can't find someone to love you for you if you don't know who you are. You need to accept yourself. Know your likes and dislikes, and own your flaws. That's right, own them! Everyone has things that they're uncomfortable about, but if you ignore them, they'll only get bigger. Once you have accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.

Don't ignore his flaws:

The same goes for him, if you ignore his flaws, they'll just get bigger in your head. If you want to make your relationship work, you have to accept your other half, flaws especially. Flaws are what make them who they are, nobody's perfect.
 
Don't move too fast:
Don't expect to find your perfect man as soon as you start to look for him. It could take years for you to meet the person that completes you, but don't give up looking just because it takes a long time. Your only young once, but your young for long enough to make a few mistakes, you're human.

Venom: The Last Dance | Film Review

While on the run, Eddie Brock and Venom (Tom Hardy) are pursued by a dangerous military organisation. But when aliens from Venom's home world come to Earth, the pair have to make a devastating decision that will change their lives forever. I watched the first Venom movie when it came out years ago, didn't really like it that much, and subsequently didn't watch the second. But totally randomly last week I decided to re-watch the first movie, and ended up liking it enough to also watch the second. And as soon as I finished that, I went to the cinema to see this new one. I really liked this film - it was so much better than I thought it was going to be! My favourite thing about this franchise is the relationship between Eddie and Venom, and for me this film was the best version of the characters together. Because, while the comedic moments between the pair are still there, there's a lot more heart in this story than there has been previously, and this is especially evident

Smile 2 | Film Review

After a harrowing accident, popstar Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) is putting her life back together and embarking on a world tour. But after witnessing a suicide, she begins to experience strange occurrences - the strangest of which is a smile that seems to follow her wherever she goes...  Having absolutely loved the first film, I was so excited to see where this next one would take the storyline, and it seemed really promising! But my high expectations were probably why I ended up being so disappointed with the final result. I know that this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I didn't really like this sequel. However, I did like how it began. It directly connects itself to the first film in a really interesting way, and that was fun to watch. Then it kind of went downhill. For me personally, I didn't love the character of Skye Riley. I didn't really feel connected to her, and it never felt like the film allowed me to get to know her that well. So as much as the events are

Book Review #138: Kill For Me, Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh

  After meeting by chance one evening, Amanda and Wendy realise they have something in common - they are both experiencing grief and want to make the men who destroyed their families pay. Knowing they can never exact the revenge they crave, they come up with an idea: if you kill for me, I'll kill for you... The premise of the book is deliberately vague, but I think the main idea of it is enough to give you a flavour of what the story is about. I have mixed feelings about this book. There's so many things about it that I really loved, but there are also a few things that I could have done without. To start off, the first two chapters are absolutely riveting. I feel like it took no time at all to bond and connect with the characters. Not only are the chapters exciting, but they're also really visceral. You feel like you're living in the scenes with the characters. It would have been amazing if the whole book had stayed like this. The story is told from two points of view,

Lagaan | 100 Movies Bucket List

Of all the movies I watched for the bucket list, this one was without a doubt the hardest to track down. Thankfully I managed to find it but it was looking impossible for a while! I ended up watching a version that didn't include the musical numbers, so I had to listen to the soundtrack separately, which felt really weird. But at the same time, I don't feel like anything was missing from the story by not having the songs in it. I'd never heard of the film before, but an almost 4-hour long movie about cricket wasn't exactly enticing. Thankfully the film is a lot more interesting than it sounds! There's a lot of underlying themes, and even when the scenes are about cricket, the game isn't really the most important thing. It was really fun spending time with these characters and seeing them interact. The one thing I didn't expect from this film was for it to be so uplifting. Even though it's not entirely sunshine and rainbows, you fall into step with this g

City of God | 100 Movies Bucket List

At this point in the bucket list we start getting to the films that are a bit harder to find. I had never heard of this film before seeing it on the list, and I didn't look it up before watching it (beyond searching for a platform to watch it on), so I had no idea what it was about. Sometimes when I'm watching the bucket list movies I write a couple of little notes to remind myself how I felt about it, as I don't give them full reviews. For this one, the only thing I wrote was 'harrowing' and I think that describes it well. The film doesn't shy away from anything troubling or uncomfortable, and it doesn't try to sugar-coat what the characters are going through, or what their lives were like. Apparently it's loosely based on true events and that feels really evident. Because of that, these characters feel extremely authentic. Whether you're familiar with their lives or not, you empathise and sympathise with them because it feels like you're watchi
